Mexico: 74% vote against Constellation Brands brewery in Mexicali; private sector confederation rejects result

On Sunday 22nd March, the Mexican Government held a public consultation in Mexicali regarding the Constellation Brands brewery, a mega project that began construction in 2016.  74% of those who voted rejected the construction of the project.  The Government has expressed they will listen to the will of the people and won´t grant the company the licences they require to continue with the project. 

However, the country´s top business confederation, CCE, has rejected the consultation process labelling it is as dangerous for the prospects of foreign investment.  The company has yet to comment.
